The Ottawa Jr. Senators will take on the host team in the national Jr. A hockey semi-finals in Alberta on Saturday afternoon.

Ottawa lost its final game of the round-robin portion of the tournament on Thursday. Brockville native Colin Marshall had a goal in the Jr. Senators’ 7-4 defeat at the hands of the Oakville Blades. Marshall scored in Ottawa’s previous game, a 2-1 loss to the Brooks Bandits.

The Jr. Senators finished the round robin with a record of 1-3 but still qualified for the semis. Ottawa will play Brooks – a perfect 4-0 in the round robin – on Saturday at 4 p.m. Eastern time. The other semi-final between Prince George and Oakville is set for Saturday night. The championship game is scheduled for Sunday.

The Jr. Senators are 2018-19 CCHL champions; their playoff run included a four-game sweep of the Brockville Braves in the semi-finals.
